Text: | When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay |
Author: | Thomas Gibbons |
Tune: | MELCOMBE |
1 When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay,
What were His works from day to day
But miracles of power and grace,
Which spread salvation through our race?
2 Teach us, O Lord! to keep in view
Thy pattern, and Thy steps pursue.
Let alms bestowed, let kindness done
Be witnessed by each rolling sun.
